Before my Masters of Fine Art Degree … I was an artist since early child hood. When I refused to eat my vegetables, my father had me sit at the dining room table until I did. My mother on the other hand, being an artist herself, would wait for him to retire. She'd bring down huge pieces of wonderful papers and pastels from her attic studio for me to use. The touch and smell of really good art supplies enticed me. I'd stretch out over the large table and experiment wildly. I was hooked. Experimentation has been my approach to art ever since!
